As western state residents begin to clean up from the latest wave of wildfires, they’re also looking ahead and thinking about preventative measures that can be taken to ensure this level of devastation doesn’t happen again.

Along with clearing brush and debris away from a home, installing a non-combustible metal roof system is one of the most proactive steps that can be taken to reduce the chance of a house being destroyed during a wildfire. Building with metal is an energy efficient, low maintenance and durable option for helping to keep homes protected from these wildfires.
